Susan but in the far north our Thanksgiving is over and Halloween will be done in a day or two..so our next holiday is Christmas.....
Lynn your house will look like mine did for the last 3 weeks.. only I don't have a Grumpy to keep me in check.. I had paints out, cards out and tile just mixed in.. lol.. I did get my paints put away so looks a little better.. O and the Library was a good choice... I have been out and about this week several times but have no idea what will happen this coming week... Thanks for the encouragement
So when the tree comes out do the decorations as well.....

Christmas Tree, do I still have a christmas tree??? I will have to look.... Mr Toby and Miss Tessa usually destroy anything I put out for Christmas..... except the door wreath, (it is outside),

I'm wondering how Midghit is going to do this Christmas. It's her first one. We already have to cover the gifts that are under the tree if we go anywhere because Lucky dog likes to open gifts. Last year he opened one of those giant hershey kisses and ate 3/4 of it. And believe it or not he didn't get sick. It didn't affect him at all which is wierd because you give this dog a piece of anything other than his all natural dog food he gets sick all over. In fact his nick name is Sir Pukes Alot.

Hello my dear friends. How is everyone doing? I am still not sleeping and I am still having hip issues. But on a good note Ron will be home Monday. He will be home for a week. We are going to go buy our new vehicles while he is home. I'm excited to see him because I haven't seen him since Labor Day and after he leaves out I won't see him again until Thanksgiving. So what is everyone up to? Me, cleaning. Tomorrow I am going to get caught up on the Alpha chatter and look at all the X cards. Then I have to clean my bathroom, dust my front living room, sweep and mop floors, go grocery shopping and give Midghit a bath. So with that said ladies, I am going to try very hard to get a little sleep. What bites is I'm so exhausted I do not have the energy to get all this stuff done. Uggg..wish me luck. I hope all y'all have a great day tomorrow. I will see you...ok well chat with you...tomorrow. Huggs

OK,NOTICE......I know that Halloween is almost over and that Canada has already had their Thanksgiving??? but I refuse, and it is against the law here in the U.S.A. to even talk about or put up any thing Christmas until after December 1st (well....it should be anyway). Soooooo I refuse to talk about anything Christmasy unless it has to do with cards!!!!!!!!! To be perfectly honest, I hate Christmas anymore. My favorite holiay is Thanksgiving. I sound like a scrooge, but when you go to stores a nd they already have their Christmas stuff up before Halloween is even close. Well, I just want to leave the store. By the time Christmas gets here, I am sooooooo sick of Christmas anything. The stores ruin it for everyone anymore. Sorry, that's how I feel.

About the stores at Christmas, I agree, only thing is I believe that they should wait until after our Rememberance Day, Nov. 11. No respect, just no respect, thats what I say! Have you seen the Christmas TV commercials?

Well, today is some paper work and then paper craft. A paper kind of day!

Hello ladies. I will be here checking out cards and adding up points. I do hope everyone is having a great morning/night depending where you are. Well I better get ta gettin cuz I still have all that cleaning to do. I'm really upset by this because the girl living here knows that I just do not have any energy due to having no sleep. Yet, she told me "Don't worry about it. I am off on Thursday and Friday we will get it all done then." Well, she cleaned her bathroom and dusted the greatroom. Other than that....I am doing the rest. I managed to get the front livingroom dusted, my bedroom dusted, bills paid, and the kitchen cleaned. I still have to clean the master bathroom, sweep and mop floors and go grocery shopping. She told me yesterday "I am going to lay down for a bit when I wake up we will go grocery shopping." I told her "Okay good, then I will do the floors tomorrow because I cannot do the floors and go grocery shopping in the same day because the next day I will be stuck in bed in pain." Well, I guess my hubbies first day home I will be stuck in bed because she slept until 9:30 last night. uggg...wish me luck..Ok I am done venting now, thank you for listening...I shall go add up points and what not. Hugg to y'all.

Have a great one, will be checking in often!

I remember the Christmas season didn't start until after Santa had passed at the end of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (the parade with the HUGE balloons). I was always taught to not start shopping until after Thanksgiving (and it wasn't that long ago I was taught that - things have changed SO MUCH in the past 20 years!). And I have seen Christmas things out in stores since September!! That's a little too early!!

I agree - NO respect on Rememberance day!! I always get a poppy from the veterans selling them. But many people don't understand nor do they want to. It's sad.

OOps I forgot this is the weekend... so should have waited till Monday....

This takes me to your gallery. Did you upload this today? Sunday? If so, then I understand.....we don't approve cards on Sunday. If that is the case I will have to peek in tomorrow so I can check it out.

Ok ladies, X points are posted...what there are of them. Please let me know if I missed any. I still have to make my X card yet too. Oh I need more days in a week. lol....I also want to share with you that the chatting challenge will end at the end of the letter X. And Wednesday there will be a surprise guest hostess. The first person to guess who that is will receive points from the guest hostess. She will tell you how many you will get for being the first one to guess the correct answer. So...ladies...make sure you chat it up between now and Wednesday. Have a great day ladies...I need to go start my cleaning. Huggs and love.

Sorry ladies...you guys all know I have....uumm issues with my health...especially since I have been sick 28 days straight! SO I was just thinking ahead...it takes me soo much time to do things and needing to send to other counties puts in on my radar faster. I totally agree with rememberance day...I have not seen a poppy yet...usually they are out by now??

Please excuse the interruption, but here’s a PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTreminding us that things aren’t always as they seem!

A little boy decided he was going to read the Bible, so he opened his grandma’s huge, old leather-bound bible that had been passed down through the family for generations. As he turned the pages, a fragile, old pressed leaf fell out. He gently picked it up and ran to his grandma, “Grandma! Grandma! I found Adam’s underwear!”

Yesterday...yep. Ten pretty Christmas cards! I just haven't had time to take pictures. Been battening down the hatches. DS is on his way to Georgia and says he has seen so many electrical company and tree company trucks heading up our way! Sounds like they are trying to get here before it hits.

I love National Chocolate Day! But, I didn't eat any today - so I will have to make up for it tomorrow! My craft room is a mess - must clean up and find my desk - then make an X card - hard to come up with an idea!!

I think it is going to be Diane that hosts next. So everyoe get your thinking caps on

I just realized, I have no mica powders. What to do, what to do. Wish you could make your own. Maybe you can, I don't really know. I hate not having stores near by that sell craft supplies. I don't want to drive 2 hours just to buy mica powders.

Ohhhhhh, Kathy, I went to a Su card making class today. We made 1, count them 1 card today Then everyone placed an order and SHE will get the points and all the freebies from the party. I just do not think that is right. She sould pick a name and that person gets the points and can pick out what freebies she wants. Then the next one someone elses name gets picked. She is haveing card classes twice a week $5 for each class and you make 1 card and then she takes orders. Obviously NO one signed up for any of the classes.

Donna, I use to go to card classes, I believe, it was 10 for 10. We had an order of who hosted for each month. The hostess received the freebie, etc. and we made at least 3 cards each class or a scrapbbok page or a project. But we had to order a certain amount of products for the feebies, etc. Are you committed to these classes? In my opinion $5.00 for one card??????

Susan, it was a boring card. We used the same stamp we used at that last class she had. and that cost us $35 dollars. It was an all day thing and we made what ever we wanted to work on and then she had a couple projects for us to do. But only one was a card. You don't want to see the card believe me. Am I commited.........well...... she considers me a friend, but really, I don't know her real well. I helped her make all her wedding table decorations for a wedding she agreed to do and she took all the credit. I got nothing for helping. But yeah, 10 cards for $10 I would definately do that.

All of her 'Clients" have gone off on their own and found free places to play and they have been inviting me. It doesn't cost anything and we can work on certain thing or work on whatever we want. I like those kind of things. No pressure to buy anything and everyone shares with each other. I would let anyone use or take whatever I had, like paper, brads things like that and not expect them to pay me. But if you take one from her, she adds it to your bill. She has more SU things than she will ever use in 3 lifetimes. believe me!!!! I have seen her house. It looks like she is a hoarder.
